Golden Cage (Lackberg) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Smart, unflinching….  [A] novel of female empowerment and triumph over the patriarchy.
Mary Kubica - New York Times Book Review


Läckberg has made a career out of writing ingenious psychological suspense stories about vile people doing vile things…. The Golden Cage tells a nasty tale about entrenched male domination in a supposedly enlightened society; great wealth and the soul rot it can breed; and the payback—oh, the sweet, sick payback of a woman used and spurned, rising up from the discard pile.
Maureen Corrigan - Washington Post


A sexy, deliciously dark journey.
Los Angeles Times


The doyenne of Swedish crime fiction serves up a propulsive tale of a scorned woman who seeks to crush the husband who betrayed her and gets back at him by surreptitiously stealing his multimillion-dollar company out from under him. There’s enough haute couture, Cava, and hot sex to sate a devotee of romance fiction, but the real satisfaction comes in watching our heroine reclaim her fierceness.
Oprah Magazine


One stunningly sexy and over-the-top psychological thriller about the wife of a billionaire entrepreneur whose intelligence and sacrifice is constantly undermined. Faye has some well-hidden secrets too, but she is about to take vengeance of epic proportions on her cheating husband, and, what’s the phrase? Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned.
Parade


Sexy, scandalous, and terrifying, this is the kind of suspense story you gobble up in one sitting.
Real Simple


Written by European superstar Lackberg, this is a twisty tale set squarely inside the world of the very rich and very fabulous.
Glamour


Läckberg outdoes herself with this delectable tale of revenge…. The poignant insights into women’s capacity for self-sacrifice, multidimensional characterizations, and celebration of female ingenuity will resonate with many. Lackberg… the thriller queen of Scandinavia.
Publishers Weekly


Comparisons to… Lisbeth Salander will undoubtedly be drawn, and the cunning revenge plot does justify those parallels, but there are satisfying themes of redemption, loyalty, and power here that push the story beyond vengeance. A darkly glamorous and utterly absorbing departure.
Booklist


Faye Adelheim has it all…. She also has rage…. Lackberg deftly teases the reader by dropping clues to Faye’s dark past. We can’t help but wonder if she’s done this before. A deliciously inventive thriller brimming with sex, secrets, and scandal.La
